(NewsNation) — A former Texas Chick-fil-A employee accused of funneling more than $80,000 in fraudulent refunds to his personal credit cards following his termination is facing multiple felony charges.
Keyshun Jones allegedly began the scheme in November 2025 at a location in Grapevine, Texas, after the restaurant’s owner reported a theft, according to the Grapevine Police Department.
Investigators reviewed surveillance footage that showed Jones, who had been fired about a month earlier, standing behind the counter without authorization. Police said Jones created roughly 800 fake orders for macaroni and cheese trays at the register, then immediately issued refunds to his personal credit cards.
The total loss is estimated to exceed $80,000. Authorities have not said how Jones accessed the register after being fired.
